If someone knows, let me know!<br /><br />There are also quite a few female Mandalorian warriors in Rebels, so there is always hope although I'm not sure how deep Hasbro will ever go with that series. Rebels is one of my favorites but Hasbro just now has Ezra and Chopper scheduled for release with no sign of Zeb. They're dawdling!

Or were those just clone commandos? <br /><br />On a Clone Wars-related note, since there's already a female Mandalorian figure in Sabine Wren, I'd also like to see Hasbro put out the Mandalorian instructors (I recall there was one female in that group) that trained the clone troopers.

I can't wait! I love the ARC troopers. Heck with some of the Clone leaders they've already released they've got most of the parts, too.Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-64969032586405508622018-08-27T13:59:15.218-04:002018-08-27T13:59:15.218-04:00Prowler doesn't have any shin guards so I supp...Prowler doesn't have any shin guards so I suppose that makes sense. Do you think the Star Wars Black line will really have an ARC Trooper in it? I'd like to see Delta Squad if Hasbro can manage that too.

Actually, I had a choice between the Scarif Team Leader and the Praetorian but I remembered what you said about the limited elbow articulation on the Praetorian so I picked this one. I'm having a fine time posing and playing with it. <br /><br />One thing though: is there an internal rule in Hasbro that says their six-inch figures can't share articulation mechanics? My Marvel Legends Prowler looks like he's wearing shoes; the Scarif Squad Leader looks like he's wearing slippers. Can't Hasbro just make it one standard foot construction?Wayward Knavenoreply@blogger.com
